New Yarn! HL "I Love This Cotton"!!

Jaxhil · 08-09-2008, 07:30 PM

Hey everybody!

I went by Hobby Lobby today and they have a brand new yarn available, called "I Love This Cotton". It's super-soft, comes in 180 yd 3.5 oz skeins (solids, they didn't have any variegated left, but they apparently come in variegated too, as it was listed at 3 oz).

I got 5 skeins in a beautiful aqua color~since it was on sale, I thought I'd be the generous one and try it out for y'all

It's listed at $2.99 on the skein, but was on sale for $1.99~hence the unplanned shopping attack. I only went in for stitch markers, and now I want to go back and buy out their stock of red, too! LOL~I'll hold back though, it's a long drive, and God willing they'll have it again

It seems to be very nice yarn, have to figure out what I'll make out of it. My store also had some new Bamboospun which is nice and soft. They have spaces for the new Caron Spa bamboo yarn too, as well as I Love This Wool.

I saw that yarn today. It's very soft.

ooh, that's right! I did see the bamboo spun, and it was also lovely-very, very soft and nubby looking!

I didn't know they were getting wool as well-yah!! I can't wait to see it.

just what I need~new yarns

I've been trying to finish up projects,not start them, lol!

I never saw that. I may go there sometime this week. I'l have to look for it. Thanks!

They've moved all the yarns around. The cottons are all together, then the bamboos and all wools, and sock yarns down the shelf.

A friend told me about the I Love This Cotton! being on sale, so of course, I had to buy several for dishcloths. I need to cast on a dishcloth to try it out but it really does feel soft.

I also picked up some Lion Brand Sock Ease in cotton candy it was regularly $9.99 with the 40% off coupon only $6.00...for a pair of socks!

I don't know about your Hobby Lobby, but in mine it seems like each time I go in there is one less yarn aisle. And still no Fall Issue Knitting Magazines!!

Hilary...thanks to your post, I had to venture over to HL...a convenient stop near my daughter's friend's house.

The first yarn is called Buttercup. It's for me. The second one is Red, and it's for a friend at work.
